Ghost Pains An arterial flow to severed processes left fingering emptiness from spatial capillaries scarred as wounds close over gangrenous receptors cauterized by an instant of remembered hope until the itching begins… the ghost of all pains and no scratching abates it.

Had to comment again. I guess I am curios what motivated you to write this. A lot of pain in there written in a very unique and powerful way. I believe it or not, know your words. The Itch remains. Thanks, Geoff |

I simply loved the descriptions you used here. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Hi X! I am glad you were barely able to breathe. I think that poetry should leave the reader barely breathing or breathless. Thank you for reading! Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |
